Wreath Christmas Ornament

For Christmas this year my step-daughter, Gracie, is making wreath ornaments to hang on our packages.  They are super cute and very easy to make.  She is almost 8 and was able to make quite a few while watching Disney Channel one day.
To make one wreath you need:
- One red pipe cleaner
-16 green beads (8mm size) (we used round beads as they were the only ones I could find.  You might be able to find green pin-wheel type beads that would be super cute too.)
- 4 red beads (5mm size, I think)

Find the center of the pipe cleaner and put a red bead on.  Building from the center out on both sides put 4 green beads on either side of the first red bead.  Then a red bead on both sides, followed by 4 more green beads on both sides.  Twist the pipe cleaner closed very close to the last green beads you put on and shape the remaining into a bow.  Ta-da, you are done.  Super simple, very cute!
